It's all a deck of cardsTIL
If you've got a shuffled (i.e. not brand new) deck of cairds in your hoose, the order they're in will be the first time in history a deck of cairds have ever been in that order.
The number of possible permutations a deck order can be in, is a bigger number than there are atoms on earth
If a deck of cards was shuffled every second since the start if the universe the same deck would not be repeated, in fact it would barely make inroads into the number of possible permutations.TIL

I caught sight of this due to a youtube video, where it played this out in terms of walking round the earth but taking a billion years between each step and still not touching the sides after so many times round the planet.. its a truly, truly mind boggling number.
Exponential growth (and degrowth) is quite shocking.
It had better be a strong chessboard!
18,446,744,073,709,551,615 that many.It's double that
1 followed by 100 zeroes, if I remember the trivia question.
Is Lee Johnson a googolplex then?
He's tiny Billy!
I wondered that after I posted it
To be fair, when my 6yo asks me what the biggest number is I always tell him it's a Googolplex!
I just googled that and it isn't, I mean there can't be - you can always +1!
If there is one thing I am glad to not be very good at its maths. I think the real maths geniuses are liable to be driven mad by it and even your more regular whizzes can often be a bit odd.
I would imagine that's the biggest with a name.
Theoretical numbers go on forever but for physical stuff there has to be a top number. Grains of sand on Earth for example.
I wonder what the ofds are for der hun to have a run of 18 home games, and counting, in cup competitions
Evens every time
Yup. I remember that. Also remember 10,000 Maniacs removing their cover of his songs Peace Train from their album in protest. The response to the fawa on Rushdie was cowardly and shameful. Leader of a country publically issuing a death warrant against someone for writing a book. A line should have been drawn in the sand at that point. Of course it wasn't. Message that Western democracies will do fuck all when their citizens are threatened by religious nutters.I remember thinking "ya dafty" when Cat Stevens turned Muslim but hey ho
I've just seen an old clip of him on some panel discussion where he supported the calls for Salman Rushdie's death. When pushed he also said if ordered to he would carry out the act himself.
Peace loving hippy to someone willing to kill an author for writing a book. *&*^!
Exactly. I also saw today that Rushdie was stabbed 14 times on stage. He was lucky to survive.
what should they have done Sancho?
People at the time called for him to be arrested for inciting violence on live tv
That would play havoc with the tides though.I learnt you could fit every other planet in the solar system between us and our moon

Given that Earth's diameter is less than 8000 miles at the (fat) Equatorial bulge and the Moon is around 238,000 miles away I'm not sure why you're surprisedI learnt you could fit every other planet in the solar system between us and our moon

thats no the moon HammiEarths diameter doesn't come into it though

The moons just VERY far away.
Wouldn't think it looking outside tonight though.
then whats googoplex x googoplex
Aye they waltz into the country and steal our brains.
